A sales rule is the part of a sales-based rent agreement that determines how and when the amount of sales-based rent is determined based on reported sales. It also determines how the result of the settlement is offset against amounts already paid by the tenant (for example, advance payments or minimum rent).
You have to create sales rules in the real estate contract as terms in the sales-based rent agreement.
You set the
Relevant to Sales
indicator on the
General Data
tab page in the real estate contract.
Choose the Sales-Based Rent Agreement tab.
When you create a new contract, we recommend that you use the
Fast Entry
function for accessing the sales-based rent agreement. Using this function, you can create a simple sales rule and a reporting rule for it at the same time.
To change a sales-based rent agreement (for example, adding a reporting rule) or to create a more complex sales-based rent agreement, choose
